SANDER.
LAMBERTvILLE, N. j., Sept 8, 81.
Mr.. EDIToR:-An article 10 last week S
Beacon entitled ISLANDER, was good as
far as it went, but it did not say enough.
If ever town was more cursed with
SANDER than Lambertville, we have never
heard of it, and if such place exists, we
cannot feel pity enough at its condition.
Hero in our midst the merest trifle is mem
toned in relation to some one, and as it
is repeated from one person to another
the story grows and grows, until at last
it reaches its height and the victim is
brought to the level the scandal mongers
intended he should reach, In this way
many lady or gentleman is made to suf-
fer loss of respect, when they do not de-
serve such fate. We should bc very,
very careful in regard to what We say of
our fellow. man, and learn that il we can
not say anything good Of him, TO say
nothing at all. do not mean to say that
all of our citizons are addicted to scandal,
but do mean to say that we have in our
midst more than our share of scandal
bearers. Scandal, back-biting, gossip,
ETC., ought not to be INDUCED in at any

Death of a Circus EmpIoye.
Early last Saturday morning, Wallace
& Co.'s Circus arrived in this city from
Stroudsburg, Pa, coming by rail over the
Belvidero Division Of the Penna. r. r.
1t left here for Pennington about half
past 6 o'clock, and when near Copper
Hill, night-watchman of the company,
named Daniel Brown, who was on top of
one of the cars, was struck by the cross
rods of the bridge at that point, knocked
off the car and instantly killed. When
taken up, his skull was found to be badly
cut, his neck broken, the flesh torn from
one Of his arms and the bones broken.
His body was taken to Pennington, and
Coroner Kitchin, of this city was tele-
graphed for, but upon his arrival there,
be decided that an inquest was uuneces-
sary.
Mr.. Brown was man of splendid ply
sique, being six feet two inches in height.
He is highly spoken of by his employers
and companions as man of kindly and
generous disposition, total abstainer
from drink, and highly esteemed by bis
acquaintances. He was about thirty
eight years old. His homo was at Osha-
wa, Canada, where his father, Thomas
Brown, and sister are living, whose main
support he was. His companions say
that it seemed TO be his principal thought
to make them happy, and that his sisters
welfare was always uppermost in his
mind.
Just before tho train left Lambertyille
for Pennington he cautioned the men to
look out for the covered bridges, and it
seems strange that in less than hour af-
terward he should have been killed by one
of them.
On Sunday morning the body was
brought from Pennington to this city
and placed in charge of Mr.. Samuel
Stockton, undertake. Who had it proper
ly prepared for forwarding to his friends,
and he was unremitting in his efforts to
have everything iittingly done. At 8
p. M. a large part of the circus company
and many of our citizens assembled at
Stockton's rooms ON Coryell street,
where short religious service was held,
conducted by Rev. j. Fl. Boswell. The
sad faces and the tears of the ladies and
gentlemen o. tho company showed that
their hearts were deeply touched by their
loss. The silent and sad manner in
which the remains were followed to the
station also showed a respect to the dead
which is often wanting in more preten-
tious funeral professions.
Undertaken Stockton says that out of
2, 249 funerals attended by him in the
past twenty-five years. he never attend
ed one Of its size more solemn than this.
On the top of tho case in which the
coffin was enclosed was cross plate,
mounted on velvet, aud a beautiful
wreath of white flowers, trimmed with
smilax. In the centre Of the wreath was
a card, on which was written by lady's
hand the following:
:" From his dear friends of Wallace &
Co.'s Circus.
Dolly Crosby,
CLEO HERNANDEZ,
SALLIE ANDERSON,
MINNIE MINNETTA.
On Monday morning the body was
forwarded in care of the Adams Express
to his relatives.
